Folder Overview
Introduction
The 8830 Folder is a finishing device which allows prints to
be folded or stacked. The folder’s two modes of operation
are Fold Mode and No Fold Mode.
When in the Fold Mode, B, C, D, E, and longer-size bond
prints are folded into an A-size format. This provides easy
storage and filing of the folded prints. A-size prints will pass
through the folder to maintain integrity of the folded sets.
Note: Film/mylar and vellum cannot be folded.
When in the No Fold Mode, or Stacking Mode, the folder
does not fold the prints which are delivered to the folder by
the 8830 printer. The prints are stacked in sequential order
on the bridge of the folder.
To help you understand the 8830 Folder, some of the
commonly used terms are explained as follows:
Finished size: The print will be folded to A size.
Fan fold: This is the first of the two folds in
the folding process. A maximum of eight
(8) first folds can be made.
Cross fold: This is the second fold of the
folding process and it is at right angles to
the first fold. A maximum of two second
folds can be made.
Fan fold only: The finished copy is size A
width, but all the panels may not be equal
in size. A binding margin is available with
the ANSI style folder.
A-size drawings should be fed in the long-
edge feed (LEF) direction and with the title
block as shown in order to obtain the
correct orientation in finished sets.

(continued)
B-size drawings should be fed in the short-
edge feed (SEF) direction and with the title
block as shown in order to obtain the
correct orientation in finished sets.
C-size drawings should be fed in the long-
edge (LEF) direction and with the title block
as shown in order to obtain the correct
orientation in finished sets.
In order to properly fold D- and E-size
prints, D-size and E-size drawings should
be fed in the short-edge feed (SEF)
direction and with the title block trailing as
shown in the illustration to the left.
E-size and nonstandard size print widths which require
two cross folds are delivered to the Folder Print Basket
with the title block facing up.
The number and placement of folds is based on the type
of fold selected and the paper size. Refer to the Folding
Style reference charts for details on how the folds will
look.

Operating Hints
When using the folder take the following precautions:
Before printing, be sure that:
− the media rolls are positioned correctly on the media
spools in the printer.
− the lead edge on the paper rolls are straight. If
necessary, trim the edge.
− the doors are not opened or that the program is
changed during folding.
− the bridge is in the correct operating position. The
bridge must be fully down and locked as shown.
Notes:
– In order to ensure that the correct size fold is obtained,
only the paper roll width shown in the
Copy Output
Folding
section should be used.
– The maximum, multiple, on-line, fan and cross folded
print length is 80 inches.
– Media smaller than C size must be standard sizes to
obtain correct folds.
– A and B size media is passed through the cross folder
and stacked in the tray.
– Different types of bond media may result in different
folding quality. Folding adjustment may be required.
